The Best Fall 2018 Fragrances for Your Zodiac Sign
While you may equate the scents of fall with pumpkin spice lattes and wood burning stoves (trust us — we do too), this year, there's an entirely different batch of fresh-on-the-market fragrances to help you get into the seasonal spirit.
There are so many sweet (and spicy, and woody) scents to choose from, we turned to the night skies to help us decide which ones we should be spritzing ourselves with based on our zodiac signs. Whether it's something bold to help confident Leos embrace their inner Britney Spears, something dreamy to play into a Virgo's introspective nature, or a perfume inspired by Gemini's gift of gab, there's something for everyone in this crop of products.
The universe has spoken, so scroll through to see our picks for the best fall fragrances based on your zodiac sign, and don't forget to peep to the heavens on September 22nd for the autumn Equinox — AKA the first real day of fall.
1/12Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22)
Happy Virgo season! As the analysts of the zodiac, Virgos are equal parts introspective and communicative, which means you’re just as comfortable alone with your thoughts as you are sharing them with others. So, to say a scent called “Pillowtalk Poet” is a perfect match for these dreamy intellectuals would be a massive understatement. With a luxurious mix of fresh laundry mix and musk, it’s equally as great for lounging in bed as it is for taking on the world.

Bohman & Sjöstrand Ab2/12Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22)
There are few things Libras love more than balance and harmony, which is why a fragrance inspired by the end of the world might seem like the opposite of what you’d need. But with a combination of pepper and citrus notes, and an infusion of fig, this scent plays on the type of balance that you crave. And if it is, in fact, “the last scent on earth,” it happens to smell really, really good.

3/12Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 22)
Given that Halloween comes at peak Halloween season, it’s no wonder Scorpios have a penchant for the paranormal. With notes of citrus and sandalwood, Art Meets Art’s witchy new scent will put a spell on your senses — and make the perfect compliment to any of this season’s costumes.
Shop Now: Art Meets Art I Put A Spell On You Eau de Parfum, $95, available at Saks
4/12Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
With their intense zest for life, Sagittarius are true adventurers who are constantly looking toward the horizon. Michael Kors’ Wonderlust was inspired by the desire to see and learn the world, and considering we like to think the phrase “not all who wander are lost” was coined by a Sag, it feels like the perfect fragrance fit.
Shop Now: Michal Kors Wonderlust Eau Fresh $115, available at Macy's
5/12Capricorn (Dec 23-Jan 20)
Hey there, go-getters. Sea goats, you're feverish in your pursuit of getting things done, and have the triple-threat combo of business savvy, tenacity, and grit to help make it happen. Pick up a strong-yet-sensual scent, like Jimmy Choo’s Fever, to keep you smelling 💯 on the road to CEO.
Shop Now: Jimmy Choo Fever, $62, available at Ulta
Ben Yomtov6/12Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
Thinking outside of the box is a way of life for Aquarians, who take pleasure in the unconventional, and Calvin Klein’s One Platinum is certainly something different. With a mix of granny smith apple, pink pepper, and cashmere, the fragrance was created as a modern update to the brand’s signature scent, and is meant to celebrate a break from the status quo. Sound like anyone you know?

7/12Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
With their double-fish duality, mysterious Pisces are often misunderstood by the other signs in the zodiac — and tend to be confused by their own mixed emotions. For an important daily reminder to “Love Yourself,” look to Tocca’s fragrance line, which has the words hidden on every bottle.
Shop Now: Tocca Maya, $72, available at Sephora
8/12Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)
You're confident and strong-willed, Aries, so you need a fragrance that will match your inherent intensity. Tiffany’s latest is a richer and deeper version of their signature scent, and the combination of musk and florals exudes the same sort of strength that Aries’ are known for. Another thing about the sign of the ram? When you want something, you want it now, so better spring for overnight shipping.
Shop Now: Tiffany & Co. Eau de Parfum Intense, $113, available at Bloomingdales
9/12Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
Confident, patient Taurus love being surrounded by the finer things in life, and that includes their fragrance libraries. Bulgari Goldea The Roman Night Absolute was inspired by the glitz and glamour of ancient Rome, and the black and gold bottle will look endlessly chic as part of your next #shelfie. The floral scent is meant to embody "a spontaneous and instinctive woman who stands by her choices,” which sounds just like the bulls we know.

10/12Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
Geminis are known for their gift of gab and knack for creativity, which makes them the true storytellers of the zodiac universe. In fact, most gems can spend hours chatting about any and everything. DKNY Stories is a transformative scent that combines woody and floral fragrances, playing into the duality of the sign of the twins.
Shop Now: DKNY Stories Eau de Parfum Spray, $98, available at Macy’s
11/12Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
Welcome to your favorite time of year, Cancer crabs. Though you’re technically summer babies, as children of the moon you are all about the cozy life. The latest from TOUS combines floral scents with the warm notes of vanilla, tonka beans and amber, and the resulting scent will make you feel like you’re being wrapped in a hug. Plus, it pairs well with cashmere scarves and PSLs.
Shop Now: TOUS Oh! The Original, $70, available at So-Avant-Garde
12/12Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Radiant and proud Leos, your perfume choice is truly your prerogative. Embrace you inner Britney Spears (she’s technically a Saggitarius, but whatever) with the singer’s spicy new scent, which was designed for “women and men who defy expectations, labels, and judgement.” That’s you, lions!
Shop Now: Britney Spears Prerogative, $42, available at Kohl’s
